URLs changing!

[bykimbo]

bykimbo, the link to my bookstore in your directory is not working

Thank you. That actually doesn't seem to be anything to do with this change - it looks like one of the mystery "was two spaces and now there's one" things, as there's a double hyphen in the one I've used. I'll fix it pronto, ta!

edit: done.

Don't worry, old URLs will automatically redirect when the change is made.

Thank you - did I say thank you, if not, thank you. I am one of those peeps who struggles with changes, can do so much but not enough techie wise without help, which I have to say I can get in abundance from my fellow ebidders.

I notice on that thread Astral also says he's changed image URLs this way. It seems a bit inconsistent. I'll have a paddle and see if I can work out what the difference is.

After Gazza's response (good to know he is still alive) it may be immaterial but I did use Bulk Edit to change all image URLs in my listings from my own webspace to PhotoBucket (and back again). Just a simple string replacement.

He means like in my example in #24, I changed one string of characters for another string of characters. Hey presto, simple string replacement.

They are going to change but it will be transparent. Old format URLs will be converted to the correct new format automagically.

OMG!...Minx!...I just had a truly terrifying flashback to another (now defunct) auction site that had a member who used the same avatar that you are using.

That's fine. Sunny is, apparently, going to be up all night so she can stand watch.
